A NEW CHAPTER

A fresh look. A clearer comparison.

We’ve redesigned HostingCompass to make comparing hosting plans clearer and easier.

Welcome to the redesigned HostingCompass. We’ve rebuilt the browsing and comparison experience to make it easier to explore hosting, domains and the providers behind them.

01

Find the right starting point

Explore hosting by product type, location, application or payment method.

02

Compare the details that matter

Bring plans together to review pricing, specifications and billing terms side by side.

03

Look beyond the first price

Still improving, with your help.

We’ll continue refining the experience and expanding the catalog. Prices and availability can change; check the provider’s current terms before purchasing. If you spot a missing detail or something that doesn’t work, let us know.

Is Hostwinds Business Hosting a VPS or a shared-hosting upgrade?

It is shared hosting. Hostwinds describes fewer customers per server, LiteSpeed and higher resource allowances than standard Shared Hosting, but no root access. Business Hosting may suit a website that needs more room within that environment; software requiring system-level control calls for a VPS or dedicated server.

Does Hostwinds managed VPS support cover bugs in my own application?
